Make Your Own Weed Killer

Every spring and summer I have two rivals, Pollen and weeds. After a certain point I get some relief when the pollen count go down, but there is no stopping the darn weeds. They popping up everywhere, including my veggie garden, plant beds and in the crevices of my patio all spring and summer long. I weed every day. If only my plants were this hardy.

Fill the spray bottle with 95% boiling water and 5% bleach. Shake well, and spray onto the weeds. Make sure children and pets are not nearby. This worked well for me on the weeds that invaded my patio pavers. The weeds did resist and I made the mixture stronger using a larger percentage of bleach and treated them a second time. If you have plants near your weeds, you can isolate the plants by placing a bottomless water jug over them.
